Hello everyone,
I need some guidance regarding my spousal sponsorship case.
I am a Pakistani citizen and my wife is a Canadian citizen (Indian origin). We met online and later met in Saudi Arabia, where we both were physically present together.
At that time, our nikah was performed through an online religious process (via video call with a molvi in Pakistan), while both of us were physically together in Saudi Arabia with witnesses.
After the nikah, we stayed together in Saudi Arabia for about 8 days, spent time together, and have full proof including:
Our marriage has also been legally registered in Pakistan:
My concern is:
Would this be considered a proxy marriage under Canadian immigration rules, even though both of us were physically present together at the time and the marriage was later consummated?
Has anyone had a similar case or experience?
Any guidance would be really appreciated.
Thank you.
